    Question TROLLING MOTOR. “HELP” MINNKOTA ULTERRA


    Ok.. I need. Some expert help with MINNKOTA ULTERRA.
    I Was trolling while fishing and hit something like gravel, not a stump. My TM stopped. I reset it like it says to do. It came back on BUT. It will not stow or move left or right with the pedal or the remote. It will go up and down with both but will not stow. I had to do it manually to stow it. I tried resetting again and the light just blinks and will not stop blinking. I had to shut It off to stop blinking.
    I can move the head and shaft by hand but it is hard to do.
    ANY GURU out there help me? I am hoping Don comes along with his knowledge to get it working correctly.

    I tried all the suggestions on the internet and YOU TUBE.
    I just took it to a Minnkota service center.

    Hopefully it’s still under warranty. I broke the belt on mine (my fault), got it fixed and the next time out it broke again (not my fault). Ended up needing a new board. Thankfully it was still under warranty.

    Had the same problem. Probably a plastic piece that acts as a linkage from the drive motor to the shaft. Good news is it's not a very expensive part. Should be an easy repair for the shop.
